![]() And I thought it was great Cupid wanted Psyche to love him for himself, not what he appeared to be. This is more just me wanting more of a great story though, and not a critique really. I also wanted a bit more information on why Cupid wouldn't reveal himself to Psyche. *And there is the question of if they love each other because they love each other, or because of Cupid's arrows, but it feels, at least, that it is a true love. ![]() I was a tad disappointed there wasn't more follow-up on Psyche's "lesson" from this, but this is being incredibly picky of me!!) *Why did Psyche become vain enough to feel the need to improve her beauty (though again, I must commend Craft for making this motive more about Psyche wanting to "freshen up," in essence, for Cupid. ![]() *Why did Psyche believe her sisters (though, I felt Craft managed this motive well what with the terrible prophecy the oracle had given her) There were a few points that I felt took away, just a bit, from the overall "perfect-ness" of our protagonists: I was pleasantly surprised by the detail of this book and the overall goodness of it. I did not know the story of Cupid and Psyche prior to reading this, and thus my enjoyment of the story was enhanced. ![]()
